Leadership for Sustainability

The Executive Master of Natural Resources (XMNR) program is an accelerated, non-residential graduate degree designed for full-time working professionals with significant prior work experience. Students represent a variety of organizations in the public and private sectors throughout the Washington, DC metropolitan region and beyond.

Each year, a new cohort of 15-25 students starts the program and begins a rigorous 18-month process of peer-to-peer experiential learning and group problem-solving exercises.
